Dressing the Part Continued from page 90 she still wears long, brown curls and fluffy, bouffant dresses ; but as she is a little large for the ingenue type, it is quite safe to predict that, in a relatively short time, the ringlets will find their way into a more mature coiffure. May McAvoy has recently bobbed her hair, but she hasn't joined the files of the flappers. Instead, she still maintains the ingenue effect in her clothes. Heading the flapper list, we find Clara Bow and Virginia Lee Corbin. They can always be depended upon to introduce the latest fad, either in clothes or accessories, into Hollywood. One might almost call them extremists. If a vague rumor drifts into Hollywood that skirts that have been trailing about the ankles are about to be shortened somewhat, one can be pretty certain that, in a day or so, Clara will trip through the studio gates with the most abbreviated of skirts. By the same token, when other girls are just getting used to displaying the calves, Clara or Virginia begin to hide theirs. When it comes to the actual cost of maintaining this stock in trade, probably there is no one actor in the business who spends as much on wardrobe as Adolphe Menjou — although Bobby Agnew runs him a close second. Menjou, in maintaining the title of the best-dressed man on the screen, has everything made to order. His shoes never cost less than sixty dollars a pair, and in one or two cases, they have run nearly to the one-hundred mark. His shirts range in price from fifteen dollars to fifty dollars. His ties, gloves, and handkerchiefs, all made to his measurement and with his name woven inside, come from a shop in England. In this business of "dressing the part," there are countless, less important requirements. For instance, early in Norma Shearer's career, she was told she had small eyes. On the screen, with proper lighting and skillful make-up, they appeared quite large. Casting directors who hadn't seen her work, but saw her only without make-up, told her she couldn't photograph well on account of her small eyes. From that time on, she never appeared in public before painstakingly applying a bit of make-up to those eyes. All of this was, of course, long before she came into the prominence which she now enjoys, but it illustrates what many other girls do daily to secure "bigger and better" screen roles.
